No, compost is not so good in containers, I use Pro Mix HP. We want everything as perfect as possible, from the tomato fertilizer formula, to the exact strength used at each stage of plant growth. Everything has already been calculated for us, we can, and do, send in leaf samples to make sure we are on track too.
Hi AK, I am curious what you mean by 'everything has already been calculated for us'? I assume you mean fertilizer needs? Who is doing the calculating? With soiless mix what kinds of fertilizers do you use? I am not setting up a system like your or anything (except in my dreams, lol!) But do have plants in containers and am still learnimg about fertilizers for that sort of purpose.

Thanks, Pete in PEI
